EXTRA-CURRICULAR STUDY

* Participation is open to all students enrolled in any part-time class at DARA during the Spring 2020 Trimester.

Studying regularly from life is integral to the representational artist's development, particularly as it pertains to the study of the human figure. The Saturday Open Portrait Sessions are an opportunity for extra-curricular study available to DARA students, who are welcome to drop in on Saturday afternoons to sketch, draw, or paint the portrait from life. These sessions are uninstructed and open for any student enrolled in one or more part-time courses during the Spring 2020 trimester to attend for free. It is not necessary to attend every week.

Please Note: A contingency of joining the portrait group is that each group member agrees to sit as the portrait model at least once during the trimester. Each week, there is a new sitter.

Are you interested in joining? Please check the box indicating that you would like to attend the Saturday Open Portrait Sessions when you complete the application form for a Spring 2020 class at DARA.
